Any word on how Gibbs and/or Ellis are travelling? I won't enter the Shirnack debate, having only seen him play a few times, does Farlow ever get a look in with the full-time squad?

If that is case we have to move Lawrence to lock and either Daniela or Brown to centres We can't go in with an inexperienced pack to play Warriors in the wet They will tear us a new one in the forwards
Enter Jason Schirnack….for Ellis come on Sheens give another kid a chance

That's exactly what I wasthinking Smeg….perfect game for the young guns to make a name for themselves
Its going to be very tough without Ellis and Gibbs on a wet surface backing up from a Monday night game. Payten looked very under done on Monday without a good pre-season. We really need him, Galloway, Heigho to especially step up in the forwards along with big games from Marshall and Farah

gibbs will be a bigger loss than ellis if you ask me…
gibbs defensive efforts around the ruck will be greatly missed.

It is only round 2 and if my memory serves me correctly we lost the first 2 games in 2005.
If Gibbs and Ellis are not 100% it would be stupid to risk them with a long season ahead. Give some young kids a go in the NRL. We could unearth another Dwyer, Fifita or Woods. If Jason Schirmach is a tough player who gives his 100% then a perfect replacement for Ellis. Moors is not a front rower and should only be used in the back row. I would start with Woods and Fifita in the front row tonight which will give Galloway a wake up call that he needs to perform as a Senior player.
I don't care if we win or lose tonight I just care that each player plays to their 100% capacity and gives it a real crack. It is a real honour to wear the Wests Tigers jersey.
I would love Sheens to use all four players on the bench with more match time since we have a number of injuries including Farah who didn't look 100% last week. People have mentioned a groin problem.
The rain is going to have a bearing on the match which should be a close one. Marshall's kicking might play a part.

^^Not that it really matters but we had a buy in round 2, and then won round 3, 4 and 5.

I know Schirnack will have a good go at the Warriors, but the thing I don't like given the wet and heavy conditions is the size disadvantage compared to Ellis. Ellis as we know is a solid 6'3 and 105kg, Schirnack comes in at 92kg which is too light IMO. I think these conditions would better suit Moors if he was fit, or Al Schirnack who is a little bigger than Jason.
Not too confident now with Ellis and Gibbs both likely missing.

If we win to night it will be a big effort.

It would probably result in Fifita starting and Al Schirnack being promoted as well. The DT did report that Moors, Flanagan and both Schirnack brothers were on standby but the Wests Tigers official site lists Moors as injured. It's going to be a lightweight pack if Flanagan plays and I would give the Warriors definite favouritism if the Tigers roll out a midget pack.

especially in the wet, it's going to be hard to move them around. Not very confident here at all now, hopefully they have one of their shockers.

Yeah the Warriors have generally out tackled the Tigers in the wet in recent seasons and the Tigers have always struggled with the size difference as the Warriors big men tend to dominate. Just hope the team has a good plan in place and the right attitude out there, they'll need to show great line speed in defence and hopefully not let the Warriors halves settle.

Fifita is the only one. Woods is big and Payten solid, but neither are big metre eaters.
